About this experience
Jorhat is the centre of Assam tea, home to the Tocklai research institute and surrounded by estates. On this visit a guide from a working garden walks you through the tea rows, explains how the leaf is plucked, and takes you through the factory to see it rolled, dried and sorted.
It ends with a tasting of the estate’s teas. In season you can try plucking with the workers. It’s an easy half-morning on the way to Majuli or Kaziranga.
